Allergic sensitization to ornamental plants in patients with allergic rhinitis and asthma

Allergy and Asthma Proceedings, 2014
Ornamental plants (OPs) can lead to immediate-type sensitization and even asthma and rhinitis symptoms in some cases. This study aimed to evaluate sensitization to OPs in patients with asthma and/or allergic rhinitis and to determine the factors affecting the rate of sensitization to OPs. A total of 150 patients with asthma and/or allergic rhinitis and

Component Resolved Testing for Allergic Sensitization

Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2010
Component resolved diagnostics introduces new possibilities regarding diagnosis of allergic diseases and individualized, allergen-specific treatment. Furthermore, refinement of IgE-based testing may help elucidate the correlation or lack of correlation between allergenic sensitization and allergic disease.

Nasal tactile sensitivity in allergic rhinitis

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2011
These preliminary data show a decrease in nasal tactile sensitivity and point out interesting aspects of the nasal chronic inflammatory condition in allergic rhinitis.The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of allergic rhinitis on nasal tactile sensitivity during the intercritical period.A total of 70 patients aged between 18 and 67 years ...

School education and allergic sensitization in adults

Allergy, 2001
Background: There is evidence of an association between socioeconomic status (SES) and atopy mainly from studies in children which investigated atopic diseases and parental SES. We determined the association of allergic sensitization, as measured by skin prick test (SPT) and allergen‐specific IgE (RAST), and SES in a population‐based study in adults ...

Allergic contact sensitivity in elderly patients

Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, 2004
Aging has been shown to be correlated with the rate and type of contact sensitization, but only a few studies have evaluated patch test reactivity in elderly subjects with an adequately large population.The response patterns to patch testing in 1444 elderly subjects (>65 years) with suspected allergic contact dermatitis were studied, and the results ...

Allergic sensitization is a key risk factor for but not synonymous with allergic disease

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2014
The impressive team of investigators involved in the detailed analysis of the National Health andNutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2006 data are to be highly commended for their careful analyses and meticulous dissection of IgE antibody data, as they have chronicled in the report by Salo et al and a previous 2011 report using a similar data ...

Cytokines and regulation of allergic sensitization to chemicals

Toxicology, 1994
Sensitization to chemicals and the elicitation of allergic reactions results from the stimulation of specific immune responses. Adaptive immunity is orchestrated by cytokines, a family of inducible glycoproteins that influence in many ways the behaviour of, and interaction between, cells which mediate immune and inflammatory responses.

Fungal Sensitization and Human Allergic Disease

Current Allergy and Asthma Reports
Fungal sensitizations have been associated with hypersensitivity reactions with variable levels of evidence available to link types of fungi with human disease. We conducted systematic reviews of the literature to identify the strength of evidence linking lesser-studied fungi for which there are commercially available extracts to identify populations ...
